English River at Umfreville water level

What this means

The English River at Umfreville is running below normal at 393.84 m.

The median for mid-October is 394.20 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the water level is 0.36 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 393.81 m, a difference of +0.03 m.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 393.79 m and 393.86 m.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
